About Us

Heyven is a virtual neighborhood for creators, businesses, and nonprofits in Minnesota. We connect people, partners, and resources to build a stronger, more connected community.

We believe that connection can create equitable opportunities for everyone. You can explore the neighborhood to find businesses and professionals from the communities you care most about or become a member and bring local visibility to your own work.

Together, we’re building a connected community where everyone can thrive.

Our Story

Heyven was first imagined in 2020 out of a need for deeper connection in Minnesota’s business community. People needed better ways to meet new partners, access resources, and build meaningful relationships.

After years of collaborating with small businesses, it became clear. Minnesota didn’t have a central place that truly brought people together, especially one that reflected the diversity of our community. We didn’t need another generic website. We needed something built with care.

After months of intentional work, Heyven officially launched in June 2023 and since then, it’s become a growing resource for connection, visibility, and collaboration. We've helped like-minded people meet, share knowledge, and build together.

With over 525,000 small businesses in Minnesota, we believe supporting local is essential to economic growth. Our mission is to build a thriving and connected community.
